History
The flag of the United States was established in 1777 with thirteen alternating red and white stripes representing the original thirteen colonies and a blue canton containing thirteen white stars symbolizing a new constellation of independent states. As new states joined the union, the number of stars was updated, reaching the current fifty-star design arranged in nine staggered rows of six and five stars. The red, white, and blue colors are associated with valor and hardiness, purity and innocence, and vigilance, perseverance, and justice.
